Journalist and blogger Dennis Itumbi has lost his job at State House.
Itumbi ceased to be a State House employee together with four others after their positions were declared redundant by the Public Service Commission (PSC) on Wednesday.
Itumbi was the Director of Digital and Diaspora Communications at the Presidential Strategic Communications Unit (PSCU), which was disbanded.
Others who were fired include James Kinyua who was in charge of Events and Branding, Erick Ng’eno (Speech Writing and Research), David Nzioka and John Ndolo.
As a result, Itumbi has edited his Twitter bio to remove the PSCU Director title. It now indicates he is a “pig farmer”
In November last year, Kenyans online wondered whether Itumbi was still a State House staff after he was embarrassingly ejected from the main dais by President Uhuru’s security men at the Bomas of Kenya during the launch of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) taskforce report.
Itumbi, who openly supports Deputy President William Ruto online, has in the recent past been criticizing President Uhuru’s administration.
He was last year arrested and charged over allegations of authoring a fake letter that claimed there was a plot to assassinate DP Ruto over his quest to succeed Uhuru in 2022.

Good riddance! A piece of trash that cannot be trusted in any government job. Put him in Kamiti and throw away the keys.

Human Rights is a serious issue. Its not something that we keep when it’s convenience and throw away when it’s an inconvenience. I will never support jail/detention without a fair trial.

@googoo – the judicial system is inept, flawed, and deeply screwed up to provide a fair trial.
Are these not the same judges and lawyers who are secretly advising murderer to avoid justice for money?
Wasting of public resources conducting useless mocking trials is quite nincompoop in itself! Convenience/inconvenience is quite relative in every serious matter. The law seems to work best in favor of the criminal minds.

He should have been fired a long time ago but his services will be required as we head towards elections as he’s a good inciter & rumour monger! In the mean time,he needs to fatten himself with pigs before that day!

How come ItuMbi (the egg) is not keeping chicken that lay 3,000,000 eggs a day like his side kick, DP Ruto? The pigs will eat the eggs (itumbi) and he will be left without either the eggs or the pigs!
